Laser and ranibuzumab combination for retinal vasoproliferative tumor's management.

چکیده
CASE REPORT A 34 year-old man presented with progressive visual loss in his right eye. Ocular fundus showed a vasoproliferative tumor in the peripheral retina with an associated epiretinal macular membrane. Angiography showed a rapid filling of tumor vessels. The treatment consisted of laser photocoagulation and a single injection of intravitreal ranibizumab. After 8 weeks, there was a residual area of fibrosis, the posterior hyaloid was detached, and the epiretinal membrane disappeared. Visual acuity returned to 20/25. DISCUSSION Laser photocoagulation and intravitreal ranibizumab combination could be useful for vasoproliferative tumors.

متن کاملRetinal vasoproliferative tumors: surgical management and histological findings.
Vascular masses occurring in the peripheral retina have been described extensively in the literature. Many terms, including "presumed acquired hemangiomas," "hemangioma-like," "angiomatous masses," "angioma-like," "peripheral retinal telangiectasis," and "vasoproliferative tumors," have been suggested that reflect the lack of the known histological features and the potentially variable causes. ...

Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative retinopathy occurring primarily, but not exclusively, in premature infants. The condition is a major cause of pediatric blindness in developed countries. Although acute retinopathy of prematurity regresses spontaneously for more than 90% of infants, a chronic or late proliferative phase follows in some eyes whereby tractional retinal detachments...
